Oso planning to go pro
So you fire Wojo, that’s fine, but who are you bringing in to replace him? Secondly, you guys all blame Wojo, isn’t MU paying 4 other coaches as well? Does Rob Judson bring anything to the table? Or is Wojo such a control freak they bring nothing to the table? Al had Hank, does it not work that way any more?
All the coaches I listed (except Amaker) had postseason success at their respective schools. Wojo was/is already an outlier in that regard. Wojo is also unique (to my knowledge) where he finished back-to-back seasons five of six games and six of seven games. I don't think there are any other present high major coaches (that were ranked in the top-25) to have accomplished that feat. The difficulty in finding a comparable to Wojo is that there really aren't many that have similar circumstance (experience, success, level of program). Regardless of what MU chooses to do, this season, next season, whenever, if it bases its decision to make a change on whether or not the coach is bad enough to warrant being fired, then the program is already headed down a difficult path. It's either a long-term fit or it isn't.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Yes (well Tubby didn't either but that's not the point), but the schools still waited until a year where they didn't make the NCAAT (or in Howland's case had off the court issues) to fire them.It's fine to be of the opinion that Wojo should have been fired already. Just recognize that you are of the opinion that Marquette should do something that only one other non-blue blood has done in the past 20+ years (and it worked out great for the one coach that was fired and terrible for the school that did the firing). Schools can't afford to spend millions to fire a coach every few years because they didn't like the manner in which the coach earned their NCAA at large berth.
Do you think Wojo can get it done here? Do you honestly think he’s earned two more years?
One more thing: Marquette wouldn’t be “spending millions every few years because we don’t like the manner the coach got their at large bid”. MU hasn’t fired a coach in over twenty years. They’ve fired two coaches in the last 40 years.
